The late Rueben and Patricia Adrian of Phasanali, Santa Rosa, Moruca could not afford to give their children secondary or tertiary education but four of their grandchildren are among the latest University of Guyana (UG) graduates.
Only one of the Adrian’s ten children, Zita Adrian-Ameerally, through “sheer determination,” attained a Bachelor’s Degree and two of her three children have already obtained tertiary level education at UG.
In the words of grandchild Krystal Pereira, who attained a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems and graduated with distinction in the 2021 batch, “It is meaningful because our parents did not have the same opportunities like us but they always believed in the value of a sound education. Our grandparents would always tell my mom, aunts and uncles about the value of education and were they alive today, they would be so proud.”
